Review Love Story 2050 : Er…Flop!

lovestory

Well the title pretty much says it all. And this is not my opinion alone, but that of all those who walked out of the film before I did - before the interval, during the interval and after the interval. As for yours truly, we would have walked out well before the (dud) finale (Question please, who makes 180+ minutes films nowadays?) but mum was sleeping so peacefully, I just didn’t have the heart to wake her up.

In my opinion the Bawejas made a small yet disastrous mistake – they got the lead hero’s name mixed up. In truth, the leading man is not papa Baweja’s beta Harman but in fact Archana Puran Singh. And I kid you not.

The only few genuine laughable moments which caused a ripple across the audience were courtesy Ms. Singh. Agreed her act was that of a cliched Sardarni aunty but when you are faced with squeaky machomaan, his super annoying lady love, chitrahaar of lifeless songs and a couple of si-fi crap tossed in for namesake – you will latch on to anything to keep yourself mildly interested. Never thought I would see this day – but Archana, thank you so very much.

Final words - debutant Harman Baweja’s love story is terribly boring. However, I do believe the new fella will survive Bollywood but duuuude, seriously take few lessons in voice modulation. As for papa Baweja, uncleji I think it’s time you filed for bankruptcy.

You cant expect much from a movie with Duplicate Hrithik? Or can you?

Hmm…thus far all reviews of Jaane Tu are good, while those of LS 2050 are bad.

Yeah, this was my feeling back in May. Unfortunately my local theater decided to only play LS 2050.

Jaane tu … ya jaane na, harman yaar, teri picture chale na !!! (In the tune of A R Rahman crooned Tu Bole, Main Bolo).

I had thought that this pathetic storyline would not work anyway. Filmmakers like Harry Baweja have such flimsy ideas about what works. Harman would have been better in some other director even Abbas Tyrewala. On the other hand, people like Tyrewala rely strongly on scripts which works any-day with any actor. More excited to watch Jaane tu … more strongly after reading this review !!

Yaar I have seem my share of trashy Bollywood films but this one falls in a different category. Its like this : the story is moving, the actors are moving, you know things is moving and yet you ain’t getting nowhere.

B-O-R-I-N-G is the only word that I can best describe it with.

And yet you are tempted to watch it, just remember is it freaking more than 3 hours long.

Hey,
Completely agreed!
Man this movie was a big waste of time. And is flop as expected. Really if someone wants to make a sci-fix please make it so that someone can watch it. There are plenty of better movie in english. Dubbing of such movies (the fountain, day after tomorrow, etc) would be much better to watch in hindi then this movie. This movie deserves a flop becauz of wasting out and their time…..

And for JTYJN… Although it is the same old story, but it was worth the watch cauz of the jokes they had in between…. I can watch that movie again and sure that I will giggle again….. (and love story and that stupid beta bewaja) not standable. I think he has not attended any acting classes before doing this movie….

So in end notes,,, Love Story 2050 (without any romance… ;) S**KS
